Obsessed! Yes, this book is about two very different sisters, but it‘s also intricate and layered with many more themes. I feel that many people can relate to Sigrid with today‘s current events. I teared up so much during the second half and felt empty yet hopeful after finishing it. That may not be selling the novel, but it really is a great read if you‘re open to facing hard subjects. I‘m a huge fan of dark and dry humor so this was great.

I love how Yang approached each novella in this series with a different style and format, and how each was told from a different character's perspective. The theme of resistance was powerful and timely. Yang incorporated themes of gender, class, and sexuality, as well. Overall, these were intriguing reads. I'd love to read more by Neon Yang.

June Wrap. StoryGraph has a cover collage now, or maybe it always did, and I just missed it? Dream Count and I Have Something to Tell You, which bookended the month as my first and last books completed in June, were also my top books of the month. House of Hollow follows closely.

Ava and Jules have true emotional issues they need to work through individually before they can mesh as a couple. One is a highly anxious person, and the other is free spirit. I related to both. I try not to get on people's nerves, but my impulsiveness just throws that goal out the window.

Any author could write about the trials of working through the pain of young love, but Nino Cipri set their work in the multiverse. So clever and cute.

Finally got my hands on this one, and am psyched. Started it about an hour ago and am already 100 pages in. V.E. Schwab always gets me with her characters, and these ladies so far are doing it again. #buryourbonesinthemidnightsoil #veschwab #vampires #lgbtq

Not going to finish anything else today (though I'm getting close-ish on Winter's Orbit and really enjoying it!) so here's my June #bookspin wrapup and July list.
Did pretty good in June! Caught up the last of my previous months' outstanding bookspins and doublespins so only carrying The Book of Love forward. Looking forward to July picks 🙂
Thanks, @thearomaofbooks 😀

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looking great!!! 24h
